dual nationality

Dual nationality means a person is legally recognized as a citizen of two different countries simultaneously. This can happen through birth, descent, marriage, or naturalization, depending on each country’s laws. Holding dual nationality allows an individual to enjoy rights and responsibilities in both nations, such as voting, working, and owning property. However, it also requires compliance with the laws of both countries, which may sometimes conflict, especially regarding military service or taxation. Not all countries permit dual nationality, and acquiring it may involve formal registration processes.
